Like a Fire Burning in My Heart. The musings of a Catholic theology student. December 5, 2009 in Uncategorized. Throughout my many years of being educated, one of the most frustrating things I have encountered is teachers who know less about their topic than me. It happened to me in CCD and it has happened to me several times in college. The way I see it, I pay good money to get educated, I don’t pay to teach or correct the mistakes of an incompetent teacher. These teachers come in several sorts:. He tol...

Like a Fire Burning in My Heart. The musings of a Catholic theology student. 8230;and on the seventh day God rested. December 1, 2009 in Uncategorized.

Today I experienced a remarkable thing in an unremarkable place during an otherwise unremarkable but holy miraculous occasion. Before any of this makes sense, I must give you some background first. I had forgiven the priest. I knew he was a troubled man who was fighting his own demons, but that didn’t change that his words had scarred me. So why am I telling you all this?
